A day after a married couple died after the bike they were riding while navigating through potholes, skidded on a flyover on the Western Express Highway (WEH), resulting in the two being run over by a truck, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) on Thursday claimed that there were no potholes on the spot.
The Kasturba Marg police, which is investigating the case, and Mumbai Traffic Police also told The Indian Express that while the flyover has potholes, but there were none at the spot where the accident took place.
However, photographs of the accident, which have gone viral on social media, show the couple lying unconscious near a pothole with uneven road around them.
